Each part of the head is protected against something different, and the ratings do not transfer between them. A welding helmet is rated by shade, eye protection by impact and tint, hearing protection by SNR, and respiratory protection by filter class. Those are four separate specifications. Reading each rating on its own listing is what stops one being assumed from another.
Welding helmets split by how the shade works. A fixed shade helmet is set to one darkness and stays there. An auto-darkening helmet is clear until the arc strikes and then darkens instantly, which means the work can be positioned without lifting the helmet. Shade number is stated on the helmets that carry a fixed shade rather than being adjustable.
Air-fed helmets go further by supplying filtered air to the wearer as well as shading the arc. A PAPR helmet combines both, which addresses welding fume rather than only the light from the arc. Fume is generated by the process rather than by the machine, so it is present on any welding job.
Hearing protection is quoted as SNR, and the defenders here are SNR24. Respiratory protection is quoted as a filter class, and FFP3 is the highest of the three disposable grades. Bump caps at 58 to 62cm protect against knocks rather than falling objects.
